Queta is questionable for Sunday's game against the Knicks due to a non-COVID illness, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.

Queta has been a depth option in the frontcourt all season long, but he's in danger of missing Sunday's rivalry matchup against the Knicks due to an illness. A decision on his status will likely be made closer to Sunday's 1 p.m. ET tipoff, but even if he's available, he's not likely to have a big impact in the rotation.

Tillman (knee) is out for Sunday's game against the Knicks, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.

Tillman will miss a third straight game due to inflammation in his left knee, and it remains to be seen when the big man will be able to return to the hardwood. However, his absence won't generate a big impact in fantasy, as he's averaging a mere 7.3 minutes per game in 2024-25. His next chance to play will come against the Raptors on Tuesday.

Vucevic (calf) is available for Saturday's game versus the Suns.

Vucevic has been upgraded from probable to available Saturday despite dealing with right calf soreness. Vucevic has struggled with his outside shot as of late, converting just 29.5 percent of his 4.4 three-point attempts per contest across his last 10 appearances.

Zeller (not with team) is out for Saturday's game versus the Jazz.

Zeller hasn't made a single appearance in the 2024-25 campaign for Houston or Atlanta this season. Until the Rockets provide an update on when the veteran big man will join the team, he can be considered out indefinitely.

Adams is out for Saturday's game versus the Jazz due to left ankle soreness.

Adams will miss the second leg of Houston's back-to-back Saturday due to a sore left ankle. Jock Landale will likely receive increased playing time as the backup center to Alperen Sengun in his absence. Adams' next chance to suit up is Tuesday's matchup with Milwaukee.

Collins (back) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against Houston.

Collins is coming off a 26-point performance during the Jazz's 130-107 loss to the Thunder on Friday, but he appears to have come out of contest worse for wear with a sore lower back. Micah Potter, Brice Sensabaugh and KJ Martin would be candidates to enter Utah's starting lineup if Collins is unable to play Saturday.

Williams (knee) has been listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Hornets.

Williams has been in and out of the lineup for the Trail Blazers throughout the entire 2024-25 campaign thus far, as he's dealt with injuries. The veteran big man could end up missing another game Saturday after being listed as questionable with left knee soreness. Rookie Donovan Clingan will likely continue to get more time on the floor if Williams cannot play against Charlotte.

Adebayo (knee) closed Friday's 120-111 overtime victory over Toronto with 19 points (8-13 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 12 rebounds and one assist across 37 minutes.

Adebayo was held out of the Heat's final game before the All-Star break Feb. 13 in Dallas due to a bruised left knee, but he was likely just getting some maintenance for the second leg of a back-to-back seat. He was back in action Friday and came away with his third straight double-double and his fourth in his last five appearances. Adebayo has embraced a bigger role on both ends of the court since Jimmy Butler got suspended and subsequently traded, and his numbers back that up. He's averaging 22.4 points, 11.4 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 0.9 blocks per game in seven games since the beginning of February.

Sarr amassed 22 points (8-19 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 2-6 FT), seven rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals in 26 minutes during Friday's 104-101 loss to Milwaukee.

The Wizards suffered a tight loss to the Bucks on Friday, but Sarr made a strong case to be considered the best player on the floor. He led all scorers with 22 points and also filled the stat sheet and finished three boards shy of a double-double. This 22-point output was a new career-high mark for the rookie big man, who returned from an eight-game absence due to a left ankle sprain.

Collins provided 26 points (11-19 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 3-7 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one steal across 31 minutes during Friday's 130-107 loss to the Thunder.

The 27-year-old forward led all scorers on the night, but he didn't get a whole lot of help -- the Jazz were down by 21 at halftime, and only three of Collins' teammates even wound up scoring in double digits. The 26 points were Collins' best offensive performance since Nov. 14. After missing most of January with a hip injury and an illness, he's averaging 19.6 points, 7.3 boards, 1.4 blocks, 1.3 threes, 0.9 assists and 0.8 steals through eight appearances in February while shooting 52.3 percent from the floor.
